Chapter Ninety-One: Hospitality with Meat
"A thousand years ago stood here in another city, where people carved runes from whale bones with my mark engraved on them."
The Outsider claims that the first rune was created by an ancient civilization centuries ago, that civilization has long since disappeared, and many of the runes of the Gristol continent are washed by the waves.
And he did give Grandma Brain the relevant magical abilities, so that she could make runes by herself, which is also a fact that can be confirmed-
So, what is the difference between Mo Chen and Grandma Brain? As a result, the runes he carved were unsuccessful, while the runes carved by Grandma Brain were able to succeed?
Could it be because of the skill itself?
After all, one is self-taught, and it's the kind of three-day quick success, while the other belongs to the gods in the void who are directly given?
But it shouldn't be, the three-day crash course may indeed have some problems, but will there be any qualitative changes in the power directly given by the Outsider? In the final analysis, it's still the act of the authority dog, and it's not your own power at all.
Therefore, in essence, the magic skills that Mo Chen mastered to make rune equipment, and even directly carve runes, should not be much different from the magic skills mastered by Grandma Brain.
And the experience of being able to successfully make a bone talisman can also strongly support such a fact, there is no reason to say that the bone talisman can be successfully made, and it can't be made if it is replaced with runes, right?
There is certainly no such reason.
Putting down the carving knife in his hand, Mo Chen raised the scrapped rune in his hand and looked at it carefully, unlike before, the bone used in the rune this time was crystal white, and it was the original whalebone of the Leviathan whale brought from the world of shame.
However, it has no impact on the final result, and it is still scrapped, and there is no god in it-
This rune is still scrapped, and it has not been able to pass the quality inspection standards, and it has never been able to become a rune in the true sense.
But after confirming that it was not the problem of the material, Mo Chen did not feel much joy, to be honest, he actually preferred the problem of the material, in that case, it was okay, it could be solved directly.
After all, runes, bone runes, etc., are hard to find, and other technological artifacts such as arc towers, light curtain generators, and clockwork warriors may also be difficult to smuggle......
But what is a mere primitive whalebone compared to them?
Not kidding, just go to the slaughterhouse of Karnaca's port terminal, Mo Chen doesn't need to deliberately buy it at all, as long as he puts down his bottom and rummages through the garbage can, then he can easily scavenge dozens of kilograms of original whalebones.
After all, this thing is really worthless, and there doesn't seem to be a saying in the world of Chinese medicine about "medicine".
Add to that the slaughterhouse at least several Leviathan whales slaughtered every day, so imagine how big a Leviathan whale is! Something like raw whalebone can't be disposed of as garbage, so how can it be out of stock?
Besides, the most important thing is that in addition to being used to make bone carvings or something, this kind of thing really only has the purpose of making runes and making bone talismans.
The Warovers of the Abbey would never mind having such a reason to drag the men involved in the whalebone trade out of their homes and hang them alive in Canal Square to further promote their prestige.
They didn't care if someone else was buying or selling whalebones for heretical purposes, all they needed was an excuse.
If they feel that anyone has offended their authority and teachings, then that person is sure to die.
Therefore, the whalebone is not afraid of being robbed, after all, it is thrown in the garbage can, and not many people want to rummage through it, for fear that doing so will directly give the temple a reason to persecute themselves.
……
……
"Well, or maybe it needs to be compared...... Just a failure example doesn't say anything. ”
Saying so to himself, Mo Chen casually threw the scrapped rune in his hand into the cardboard box next to him, and then took a piece of crystal white primordial whalebone again.
Although he had not been successful in many previous productions, at least the experience he had accumulated in the production process was enough to make him a little more proficient, as he is now.
I saw that he did not hesitate to cut off the excess bone, and after a few scrapes with the knife, he turned an irregular whalebone into a palm-sized bone fragment with uniform thickness.
Then Mo Chen skillfully cut off the edges and corners again, and corrected it into a bone piece of real uniform thickness and consistent thickness.
Then he flipped the carving knife and carved a special mystical incantation on it, as well as the lines of the Outsider's sigil that symbolized all the signs of the void itself.
It is interspersed with various techniques, but whether it is inserting, piercing, cutting, piercing...... and so on, all in one go, and he has always been accustomed to it.
That's right, it's the truth that practice makes perfect, there are no other mysteries, just simple skill proficiency.
This was actually a step-by-step process, and at the beginning, Mo Chen carved the runes quite clumsily. It's like a child in preschool or kindergarten who has just begun to learn to write, and he can't grasp the pen tightly.
He's the same, he always feels like he doesn't know what to do with a carving knife.
I can only compare and confirm the extra skill information in my mind step by step, as if I am learning to write, and clumsily follow the carving stroke by stroke.
But now, he has no distractions, and his fingers shuttle.
As if the cruising on the fingertips did not need to think or hesitate at all, in just a dozen seconds, the knife was already flying, and the irregular primordial whalebone itself was turned into a processed primordial rune bone.
Yes, rune bones - the intermediate step that must be taken before animal bones can be transformed from mere bones into runes.
Runes are different from rune equipment such as talismans, and in the end, talismans and other materials can be made, but runes seem to be better with animal bones and teeth, and no matter how bad they are, they have to be jade or something.
An iron ingot or a knife that can be forged into a rune power, equivalent to rune equipment or something.
But it is difficult to be carved into a carrier of the power of the rune, that is, the rune itself.
Soon, the processed rune bone was further processed into the rune itself, and after carving the last knife, Mo Chen exhaled softly, although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed.
That's right, this time it failed as well, and if it succeeded, then when the final cut was carved, this rune should have become a miniature Void Realm channel, beginning to absorb and carry that amorphous chaos magic.
But judging from its lack of reaction now, Mo Chen knew that it had failed.
Casually throwing this piece of rune, which was also scrapped, into the cardboard box next to him, Mo Chen took a piece of primordial whalebone again and began to make the next one, he needed more examples to compare and confirm the situation of each failure.
There are still a lot of whalebones, and it's not enough to bring them back next time, it's a breeze.
It is only right to figure out what the problem is as soon as possible, and failure is not useless, at least the experience bar of Mo Chen's skill in carving runes is growing rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
The sun outside the window hung high in the sky, gradually crossed the trajectory of the westward sinking, and finally slowly deviated, and the sunlight became softer.
Time is like a stream, slowly flowing forward, and slowly it is already a golden wuxi falling, the jade rabbit rising eastward, and then the moon also falls unconsciously.
By the time the horizon at the end of the horizon showed a glimmer of dawn, before I knew it, another day had passed.
"Well, failed again...... There is still a piece of material left. ”
Mo Chen grinned, couldn't help but raise his hands and stretched hard, he looked at the whalebone reserve next to him, and found that from the previous full of several large boxes, now there is only one left.
Everything else has gone through the process of processing and fabrication, and then it has been successfully scrapped.
Sure enough, like in the game, the number of primordial whalebones is enough, and then a little mouse can directly activate the skill, 100% of the bone talisman or rune, such a thing is not scientific at all in reality.
You don't need any processing process or spell carving, you just skip it, and the progress bar runs out in three seconds, it's really ......
"Forget it, let's keep it for now."
Mo Chen reached out to take the last piece of primordial whalebone, but finally paused there, and shook his head after a few seconds.
The production has been a failure, and it is unlikely that there will be a miracle at the end, so it is better to rest for a while, since yesterday has been busy day and night until now, Mo Chen also feels a little lacking.
He glanced at the exact time, then walked out of the studio, ready to take a shower, then have a meal, and then go to deliver the day's food to the noble gentleman of Mr. Kindoch.
It's a guest from afar, so you can't afford to slack off, and you have to greet them according to the condition that every meal has meat.
Soon, Mo Chen, who was busy with everything, picked up another tray, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he came out of the kitchen and walked straight to the stairwell, walking down the stairs in the basement.
The light curtain generator and the arc tower were both functioning well, not to mention that the iron door on the other side of the cell was quite sturdy, if Jin Duoxi really found a way to escape from it.
So as long as his mind is still in his right, then he should immediately retreat to that cell as soon as he sees the moving arc tower, otherwise, he will die without any obstacle in the middle-
When the Arc Tower detects an unidentified target, it will start activating the annihilation function, which has only about two seconds to activate, and after two seconds, the target will be blown to pieces.
This is also the reason why he is not worried about Jindosh escaping in the slightest, unless he can teleport, otherwise Jindoshi has absolutely no hope of cutting off the arc tower circuit in two seconds.
Walking through the basement, Mo Chen came to the door of the cell again, took out the key and opened the sturdy iron door.
Jindoshi was sleeping inside, but woke up when he heard the sound, and then struggled to get up.
In the process, he barely fully understood what the situation was, but immediately reflexively shouted in his throat:
"The victory is yours, and I am willing to surrender...... Please, please, please......"
Jin Duoxi seemed to be in a rather bad state at this time, his face was pale and his steps were vain, and he looked haggard and would fall to the ground and die suddenly at any time.
But he didn't care, but his voice trembled, and he tried his best to make the most sincere and tame tone, as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe it, and he didn't know how many times the great inventor had rehearsed this time.
Mo Chen ignored Jin Duoxi's seemingly subconscious or reflexive scream, he just glanced at it casually, and saw that in the tray last time, the large piece of fresh raw pork didn't seem to have moved.
But after a day and night of exposure to the air, it has already begun to deteriorate.
The muscles were dark and dark red, and there was a faint smell of bloody rancid smell in the air.
